Friendship Force International, a leading nonprofit international cultural exchange organization headquartered in Atlanta, was founded in 1977 with a single mission: to create an environment in which personal friendships are established across the barriers that separate people. A 1992 nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, it is active in 125 American communities and more than 60 countries, promoting friendship and goodwill through an extensive program of homestay exchanges and an expanding range of related programs.
